orb ➜ ~/src/grep-2.22 touch empty
orb ➜ ~/src/grep-2.22 ./src/grep -v -l "hi there" ./empty

You want 'grep -L "hi there" ./empty', which says to print the names of
all files that did not contain any match (and not the names of all files
that had lines t
Yes, I understand the interpretation now. Just confusing when you have
a model in mind that almost always works.
